Students, I have been reminding you all week long that there would NOT be a rehearsal tonight from 5:30pm to 7:30pm because our clinician will be coming during school (4th period) to work with the group. Our clinician will be here tomorrow to work with 4th period from 1:30pm-3:00pm. Happy Practicing!- Mr. Gibson
